Preface 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم 

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 

This age is the space & electronic age, & man is leaping towards stars & into the depth of this vast universe. But did one ever think who are those personalities around whom, this universe spins & by one small finger’s gesture they split the moon apart. 

Who are those who commanded the stars, rocks, mountains, air, water & all the natural & supernatural ingredients of universe & over & above that the heavens & the entire metaphysical world. 

Those who truly claimed to be the city of knowledge & learning & whose chest were brimful with wisdom. But then they would not find anyone capable enough to imbibe & digest it. 

Alas, there were only a very few who could take in just a bit of what they had. 

And so 

p: 1 

that bit taken was just a tiny fraction of what they possessed has today developed into this huge & gigantic show of knowledge industry & technology by man. Of course, it took man centuries to develop the little amount of knowledge he had received. 

It was only possible through some highly caliber & genius personalities like Jabbir bin Hayyan the father of today’s sciences, Alberuni, Ibn sina the father of medicine, Abul Haisam & some others who were all the pupils of the household of Prophet Muhammad (S) 

So briefly speaking they as the torch bearer & flag holders of knowledge & learning picked up a drop from the mighty & gigantic ocean of knowledge, (the city of knowledge & his descendants) & passed it on to the coming generations for further consideration, contemplation, research, investigation & elaboration, 

Now, that man has entered the space age he looks back to the real source of his modern developments & progresses, and only then the honest researcher humanists, philosophers & thinker like Zhol Laboom, Denourt, Lora Waksia Walgari came to admit the bare & plain facts, French thinker Zhol Laboom says in the book "the detail of verses", “knowledge & learning came to our hand from the Muslims" 

Renounced orientalist Denort said "It is obligatory for us to admit that Physical sciences, astronomy, Philosophy & mathematics which reached their zenith in Europe are mostly from the beneficence of Quranic learning," 

Thus it becomes inevitable to recognize those upon whom this sacred book of knowledge & wisdom was 

p: 2 

revealed, & those are its heir up to this day. 

And cannot find a single soul in the universe except Muhammad (S) & his household her daughter, the gracious & magnanimous Fatima (sa) , his cousin Ali (as) the grand, splendid & sublime personality known as the gate of the city of Prophet's knowledge & the eleven Imams who are his descendants & progeny. 

These fourteen channels of knowledge & wisdom are linked up with Allah (SWT) so their knowledge is divine knowledge. 

Even today their effects, such as Nahjul Balaghah, speech of Fatima (sa) Sahifatul Sajjadia, Saheefa al-Alawiyyah & frame work of social, moral, ethical, logical educational, economical norms & standards for humanity with which it can put a curb & restraint upon the various evils, vices & misfortunate catastrophes like war, famine, destruction, illiteracy, disease & annihilation. 

Humanity by curbing the ever growing lawlessness, & oppression can turn this. World full of misery into a glorious heaven with all the thinkable & possible comforts, joys, fraternity & felicitations. 

To sum up, the need of introducing & materializing the aspirations of the holy Prophet of Islam & his progeny has grown multiply in this age. The need to translate, propagate & spread their mission of peace & tranquility. 

So this book is an effort towards this end. Although with its small volume & limited boundaries it can just be called a symbol & indicator for the researchers & a guideline for them to proceed ahead & discover the genuine & natural phenomenon of the metaphysics 

p: 3 

& the highway to the Divine Light leading to eternal prosperity. 

It contains 560 Hadiths which covers many dimensions of the human life & for those seeking solution to the today's world problems, it is a guide. Yet there is need to probe into the rest of the Hadiths through strenuous efforts. 

As already mentioned this knowledge is 'a beneficence, & benevolence equally for those in the East or west whether they are white or black, yellow or red. 

I earnestly pray to Almighty Allah to give us the courage, strength & sincerity to gather up the gems from the heritage of Muhammad (S) & his Household (as). 

And to put that into practice. 

I have put in sincere effort to do the job of translating these Hadiths. 

But it was not an easy thing to do since: 

The speech of the leader (Imam) is the Imam (leader) of all speeches. 

کلام الامام امام الکلام 

But only with their help & affection could this job be completed. 

Any help suggesting an improvement in the short comings of this translation including Islamic terminology will be appreciated.

Foreword 

point 

Please pay attention to the following few points which are briefly described for the sake of studying this book with a greater & broader vision. 

1. Essentiality of heedfulness to the rich culture of Islam 

We are aware that the base & foundation of the completion, maturity & progress of human beings is a school & culture which must be constructive, rich & affluent & may be capable to guide man in variant dimensions towards the total & multi-dimensional completion 

p: 4 

& prosperity. 

Such a school of thought & culture must definitely come from the Almighty Allah of humanity who is All Knowing. On this account, the only school & culture having grown & produced from the origin of revelation can be advantageous, & conductive particularly the school & culture which has reached us from the arena & sphere of the last & final ambassador of Allah' the Prophet of Islam (S) & the last guardians from God & their successors, the in fallible Imams & Hazrat Zahra (sa) & this must certainly be possessing all the excellences of gnosis, cognition & completion & will be the eminent of all the other culture’s & schools. 

On this basis it is essential & definitely necessary for us to pay deep & multi-dimensional attention & concentrate upon this rich & man constructing culture & school while proceeding on the way of guidance, progress & elevation. 

And we considering it the practical program of our life ‘must embrace the prosperity of world & Here after in its light, since we will definitely not find such a rich, plentiful, exuberant' & movement creating school of thought & culture anywhere in the World. And one can never at all reach the peak of real completion & attain the open & obvious prosperity through other cultures. 

On this basis the Prophet of Islam (S) said: 

Confer. & meet & talk to each other because Hadith polishes the hearts. No doubt hearts get rusted like the swords & Hadith is their polish. [1] 

تذاکرو وتلاقوا 

p: 5 

وتحدثوا فان الحدیث جلاءُ القلوب، ان القلوب لترین کما یرین السیف وجلاؤها الحدیث. 

Essa (removal of that rust). ' Essa (Christ) (as) at the height & summit of his speech told the Bani Israel (sons of Israel): 

Do not inform ignorant about the word of wisdom so that you may have committed excess (injustice) to those subjects & do not refuse & conceal them from the sage & wise ones so that you may have committed injustice & excess upon them. [1] 

لا تحدثوا لجهال بالحکمة فتظلموها ولا تمنعوها اهلها فتظلموهم 

Imam Ali (as) as per his well-known saying said. 

These hearts are just like utensils so that the best utensil is the one which secures & retains more (than others). Therefore do secure & memorize what I tell you. 

ان هذه القلوب اوعیة فخیرها اوعاها فاحفظ عنی ما اقول لک 

الناس ثلاثه فعالم ربانی، ومتعلم علی سبیل النجاة وهمج رعاعٌ 

People are divided in three groups: 1. The Godly scholars 2. The knowledge seekers (students) who move on the way towards salvation. 3. Silly rabble, mob. 

It is understood from these interesting & attractive traditions that the culture of Islam should not be confined & bonded rather it should be propagated, & the people of the world be given to learn it's facts by divulging it through meditation, consideration & conference. , to polish the hearts out of their rusty condition. 

Thus if we do not carry it to those capable we would have done injustice to them', since we will have deprived them of the most supreme &sublime gifts & presents 

p: 6 

of the life completion. [1] 

This also becomes clear that best of the men are those who welcome & greet the rich & exuberant Islamic culture, which is mixed up with deep & profound wisdoms, with an open & absorbent mind, & make it a pattern for themselves. 

As a whole mankind can be divided into three categories 1. Godly scholar 2. Student 3. Silly rabble [2] & mob. 

The divine scholar is like an upstanding tree which has raised & upheld his head towards the sky of completion. The student is like the plant of lily lotus which shows its face leaning along that firmly up standing tree & moves upwards. 

But the third form of man is like the weeds growing mere the root & base of that tree having no course to move on. And it stays along with the dirt of earth sometimes under that stinking dirt & gets drowned into the black mud of the pond. 

2. The Emphasis of the leaders of Islam about broad casting traditions 

The propagation & broad casting of Islamic learning & culture has an elevated & lofty place from the Islamic view. 

Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) said. "The alms giving of knowledge is this that you teach it to the servants of God. " 

Moawiyyah Bin Ammar says I submitted to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) , “One of your states great number of traditions & propagates them among the people & makes them firm & steady into the hearts of people & your Shias. 

And on the other hand, there is a worshiper among your followers (Shias) who is not active in 

p: 7 

propagating your traditions amid the people like that (other) man, so which one of them is better? " 

Imam Sadiq (as) said: 

"That person who propagates our sayings (traditions) & makes the hearts of our shias steady & firm (with our culture) is better than a thousand adorers" [1] . 

الروایة لحدیثنا یشدد به قلوب شیعتنا، افضل من الف عابدٍ 

Imam Ali Ridha’ (as) said ", Allah may have mercy upon the person who revives & establishes our affair. " A man asked him ", how must one revive it? 

He replied. 

یتعلم علومنا ویعلمها الناس 

"He may learn our knowledge’s & teach others" [2] 

3. A brief consideration of learning Forty Hadiths 

The Prophet of Allah (S) said": 

“The one from among my ummah who learns by heart forty Hadiths, which they need for their religion, Allah will resurge & resurrect him (as) a wise jurisprudent on the dooms day". [3] 

من حفظ امتی... اربعین حدیثاً تحتاجون الیه من امر دینهم بعثه الله یوم القیامة فقیهاً عالماً 

Four points must be taken into view a about this Hadith: 

1. This tradition has been much narrated with a little amount of difference & variation both by the Shia & Sunni traditionalists. And even some say this is a "Mutawatir" widely transmitted tradition. That is to say it has been so very much narrated that the sure knowledge of its being soundly narrated from the infallible Imam (as) is achieved. [4] 

2. Allama Majlisi (may God have mercy on him) says about the word "memorizing of tradition", mentioned in the above stated Hadith, “As a matter of right, memorizing (learning Hadith by heart has many grades. 

p: 8 

The rewards of them granted are according to the same grades. 

One of its grades & stages is securing & learning the text of the Hadith, whether that securing comes about in the memory securing it from getting perished like preserving it on papers & correction of its words & reproducing it. 

The second grade is learning the text & meanings of forty Hadiths & contemplation of their minute points & deduction of religious injunctions & Islamic learnings from them. The third stage is that the text of those forty hadiths may be implemented, practiced upon & secured. 

It is quite clear that each of these carry a reward but if all the three of them are owned by a person' then it will result in getting the complete reward. There by he says "Getting resurrected as a wise jurisprudent on the resurrection day takes place when all the three grades or at least two of the later ones are observed [1] . 

3. In many cases, the title of forty is the final limit & border of completion of those matters. Allama Haj Mirza Hussain Norri reflects', By benefitting from correct & true traditions it becomes evident that in the process of preserving practice for progress from a stage to a higher one, forty days or years have an effective & total effect. There by, he pointed out forty cases of the completed affairs & matters within the border of forty. [2] 

4. Supplementary, it may not remain unsaid that forty Hadiths means the Hadiths which are 

p: 9 

a requirement & need on the course of guidance such as the problems of beliefs, jurisprudence, politics, & ethics. As already mentioned a wise & complete jurisprudent is the one who gets benefitted & saturated in variant dimensions of religion from the knowledge & practice.

The Present Book 

The text of this book has been compiled under the title of. Forty Hadiths from each of the fourteen infallibles (as) , by the of Islamic Propagation organization, the International relations, Turkish Dept. And published & circulated in 320 pages' of the Rukkai size, in the year 1360 (S. H). 

The compilation of this book by the said organization has taken place, with the co-operation & co-working of two dear excellent brothers Aqai Fakharuddin Altan & Aqai Mujahidi who are respectable students of the Qum's seminary, as under: 

Following the preface, firstly the particulars of each of the fourteen infallibles are described & then comes the Arabic text of the forty traditions from each infallible with their references. Thereafter, those have been translated into Turkish language in the Latin scripture. 

And this method is quite interesting, attractive & initiative in it form, that forty sayings of each infallible concerning various affairs & dispositions, be narrated. 

And since it's translation into Persian was quite beneficial in making us aware & acquainted with the rich, wealth & vast moral, ethical, political, credence, belief social & economical culture of the family & house hold of the Prophet hood (S) was a guide to the healthy & sound way of Islamic life, so 

p: 10 

steps were taken to get it done. 

It has been endeavored that the translation be in the form of sentence to sentence although on a few occasions it became inevitable for us to translate freely. 

This book consists of 560 Hadiths, arranged in a manner that their Arabic text & then Persian translation has been put forward. 

We hope that all of us shall learn constructive, positive & beneficial lessons from these profound, deep, lofty & dignified words, & take useful, & positive steps in life to bring about the purity & betterment of our souls & the society, by putting them into practice.

Forty Traditions from Hazrat Zahra (sa) 

اربعون حدیثاً عن فاطمة الزهراء علیها السلام 

1. Praise & Eulogy Is for Allah for the blessing & bounties which He has bestowed. And thanks to Him upon what He revealed (to His servants) And Praise Is for Him upon the common boons & blessings which He bestowed upon His servants without their request And upon the comprehensive & complete blessings which He granted to all & sundry & gave It to us, consecutively. Those graces & favors which are uncountable. 

And are Irredeemable & not compensable due to their plentiful-ness of number. And the Imagination of their end is out of the reach of human mind. 

He invited the servant to thankfulness for the sake of the consecutive & continuous enhancement of blessings. And opened the door of eulogy & Praise (of Allah) upon them so that He may make his favors & beneficences great & plentiful for them. ' [1] 

1- اَلحَمدُ لِلّهِ عَلی ما أَنعَمَ، وَلَهُ الشُّکرُ عَلَی مَا أَلهَمَ، وَالثنآءُ بِما قَدَّمَ، مِن عُمُومِ نِعَم اِبتَدَأها وَسُبُوغِ 

p: 27 

آلاءٍ أَسداها، وَ تَمامِ نِعَم وَالاها، جَمَّ عَنِ الإِحصاءِ عَدَدُها، وَنَأی عَنِ الجَزاءِ أَمَدُها، وَتَفاوَتَ عَنِ الدراکِ أَبدُها، وَنَدَبَهُم لاستِزَادَتِها بِاشُّکرِ لا تَّصالِها، وَاستَحمَدَ إلَی الخَلائِقِ بِإجزالِها وَثَنّی بِالنَّدبِ اِلی أَمثالِها. (أعیان الشیعه –الطبع الجدید-ج1 ص315) 

2. I testify that there is no Deity (Lord) except the sole & matchless Allah. And the testification of the singleness of Allah is a word that Allah has declared sincerity (as) its reality, & made the hearts the center of its contact & union. And has made the specifications & research of the oneness of Allah's station obvious & evident In the light of meditation. The Allah Who cannot be seen by the eyes & tongues are unable & baffled to describe His virtues & attributes. And the intelligence & apprehension of man is helpless & destitute from the imagination of his lowness. [1] 

2- أَشهَدُ أَن لاإِلهَ اِلَّااللهُ وَحدَهُ لا شَریکَ لَهُ، کَلِمَةٌ جُعِلَ الإخلاصُ تَأویلَها، وَضُمِّنَ القُلُوبُ مَوصُولَها، وَأَنارَ فِی التَّفکیرِ مَعقُولها، اَلمُمتَنِعُ مِنَ الأبصارِ رُویَتُهُ، وَمِنَ الأَلسُنِ صِفَتُهُ، وَمِنَ الأَوهامِ کَیفِیَّتُهُ. (أعیان الشیعه –الطبع الجدید-ج1 ص315) 

3. Allah made all the beings without previous matter & sample & shape & pattern. And made them wear the dress of life by His main & might’s & created them according to His divine will & Intention, short of it that He might have needed their creation, or have wished any benefit for Himself from their shaping & sketching, except this that he wanted to give a proof of His wisdom & make the people (creations) aware about His obedience & 

p: 28 

submission, & Invited them to his servitude & worship & make His Invitation grand & ostentatious. [1] 

3- اِبتَدَعَ (الله) الأَشیاءَ لا مِن شَیءٍ کانَ قَبلَها، وَأَنشَأَها بلا احتِذاءِ أَمثِلَةٍ امتَثَلَها، وَکَوَّنَها بِقُدرَتِهِ، وَذَرَأَها بِمَشِیئَتِهِ، مِن غَیرِ حاجَةٍ مِنهُ إِلی تَکویِنها وَلا فَائِدَةٍ لَهُ فی تَصویرِهَا، إِلا تَثبِیتاً لِحِکمَتِهِ وَتَنبیهاً عَلی طَاعَتِهِ وَإِظهاراً لِقُدرَتِهِ وَتَعَبُّداً لِبَرِیَّتِهِ، وَإِعز ازاً لِدَعوَتِهِ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج 1 ص 316) 

4. Allah fixed the reward for His obedience & torment for His Insubordination & disobedience, so that He may restrain His servants from His wrath & fury & lead them to His paradise. [2] 

4-... جَعَلَ (الله) الثَّوابَ عَلی طَاعَتِهِ وَوَضَعَ العِقابَ عَلی مَعصِیَتِهِ، ذِیادَةً لِعِبادِهِ عَن نَقمَتِهِ، وَحِیاشَةً لَهُم إِلی جَنَّتِهِ. (أعیان الشیعة- الطبع الجدید-ج1 ص 316) 

5. And I testify that my father Muhammad (S) is the apostle & the servant of Allah. And Allah’ selected &chose him before appointing him at the post of Prophethood. And He named him before choosing & selecting him. And chose him before everything & delegating him. Then all the creations were hidden & covered in the covers of unseen & were hidden amid the screen & curtain of fear & fright & stayed near the last & final border of non- entity (nothingness) , for, Allah was aware of & knew the end of matters & because of His encompassing the incidents of times & ages, & His knowledge of the predestinates. 

Allah appointed him (as apostle) so that he may complete all His matter & Implement His order & materialize His decrees 

p: 29 

& predestinates. [1] 

5- وَاشهَدُ أَنَّ أَبی مُحَمَّداً (ص) عَبدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، اختارَهُ وَانتَجَبه قَبلَ أَن أَرسَلَهُ، وَسَمّاهُ قَبلَ أَن اجتَبَلهُ، وَاصطَفاهُ قَبلَ أَن ابتَعَثَهُ، اِذِ الخَلائِق بِالغَیبِ مَکنُونَةٌ، وَبِسَترِ الأَهاوِیلِ مَصوُنَةٌ، وَبِنِهایَةِ العَدَمِ مَقرُونَةٌ، عِلماً مِنَ اللهِ تَعالی بِمآلِ الأُمُورِ، وَإحاطَةً بِحَوادِثِ الدُّهُورِ وَمَعرِفَةً بِمَواقِعِ المَقدُورِ. ابتَعَثَهُ اللهُ تعالی إِتماماً لأِمرِه، وَعَزیمَةً عَلی اِمضاءِ حُکمِهِ، وَإِنفاذاً لِمَقادیرِ حَتمِهِ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

6. Allah saw nations & groups had various different sects in their religion & scattered & staying on the verge of the fires of differences, busy with their idol worshipping. They denied God with all the signs and symbols of him. (Irfan) So Allah illuminated the darkness’s through my father Muhammad (S) and removed the darkness’s from their hearts, removed (cured) the blindness of the eyes. [2] 

6- فرَأَی (الله) الاُمَمَ فِرَقاً فی أَدیانِها، عُکَّفاً عَلی نیرانِها، عابِدَةً لِأوثانِها، مُنکِرَةً لِلّهِ مَعَ عِرفانِها فَأَنارَ اللهُ تَعالی بِأَبی مُحمَّدٍ (ص) ظُلَمَها، وَکَشَفَ عَنِ القُلُوبِ بُهَمَها، وَجَلی عَنِ الأَبصارِ غُمَمَها. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

7. My father Muhammad (S) stood up with (his) guidance among the people. And saved them from perversion & aberration, and turned their blindness into enlightenment and guided them towards the firm religion. And called (invited) them to the straight way. [3] 

7- قامَ (أَبی مُحَمدٌ) فِی النّاسِ بِالهِدایَةِ، وَأَنقَذَهُم مِنَ الغوایَةِ، وَبَصَّرَهُم مِنَ العمایَةِ، وَهَداهُم إِلی الدّینِ القَویمِ، وَدَعاهُم إِلی الصَّراطِ المُستَقیمِ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

8. You the servants of Allah, are the ones to maintain His injunctions & prohibitions, & the carriers of His religion, & His 

p: 30 

revelation, & the trustees of Allah upon your souls, & the propagators of His religion among the other nations. [1] 

8- أَنتُم عِبادَ اللهِ نُصُبُ أَمرهِ وَنَهیِهِ، وَحَمَلَةٌ دینِهِ وَوَحیِهِ، وَأُمَناءُ اللهِ عَلی أَنفُسِکُم، وَبُلَغاؤُهُ إِلی الأُمَمِ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

9. Oh the servants of Allah! (Beware) the real leader from Allah, is present among you and the commitment has previously been made to you and the remaining & left over of the prophet hood has been appointed for your guidance. 

That is the speaking book of Allah the truthful Quran, & a beaming & gleaming light, in which all the secrets & facts about the completion of man & his prosperity have been exhibited & illuminated. It guides from darkness towards light of guidance. Its followers are the subject of envoy of others. [2] 

9- أَنتُم عِباداَللهِ... زَعیمُ حَقَّ لَهُ فیکُم، وَعَهدٌ قَدَّمَهُ إِلَیکُم، وَبَقِیَّةٌ استَخلَفَها عَلَیکُم، کِتابُ اللهِ الناطِقُ، وَالقُرآنُ الصّادِقُ وَالنُّورُ السّاطِعُ، وَالضَّیاءُ الّلامِعُ، بَیَّنَةٌ بَصائِرُهُ، مِنکَشِفَةٌ سَرائِرُهُ، مُتَجَلَّیَةٌ ظَواهِرُهُ، مُغتَبطٌ بِهِ اَشیاعُهُ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

10. The book of Allah is the guide of its followers towards the pleasure of Allah. Listening (carefully) to it leads to the salvation. The enlightened & conspicuous evidences & proofs of Allah can be obtained through it. And (also the knowledge) of His interpreted intentions & fear invoking constraining prohibitions & His sufficing testimonies & conspicuous arguments, & desired virtues & allowed endowments & gifts & obligatory divine laws. (Can be obtained from it) [3] 

10- کِتابُ اللهِ... قائِدٌ إِلَی الرِّضوانِ اتَّباعُهُ، مُؤَدٍّ إِلَی 

p: 31 

النّجاةِ استِماعُهُ. بِهِ تُنالُ حُجَجُ اللهِ المُنَوّرَةُ، وَعَزائِمُهُ المُفَسّرةُ، وَمَحارِمُهُ المُحَذّرَةُ، وَبَیِّناتُهُ اَلجالِیَةُ، وَبَراهینُهُ الکافِیَةٌ، وَ فَضائِلُهُ المَندُوبَةٌ، وَرُخَصُهُ المَوهُوبَةُ، وَشَرائِعُهُ المَکتُوبَةُ. (أعیان الشیعة-الطبع الجدید- ج1 ص 316) 

11. Allah made the faith for you as a purity from polytheism (& infidelity). [1]

And the great magnificent mountain of the existence & the hidden & covered Kabaah (House of Allah) & its pillars should shed tears. 

Oh the terminator & finalize of the (series of) prophets! The light of whom is the source of blessing for the world's inhabitants, Be the salutation & blessings of Allah the descended of Holy Quran upon you. [1]

He had attained freedom from the domination of ignorance. And never begged from anyone, except the trust worthy person, for a benefit. 

He did not complain & did not get enraged & furious & was not put out of patience. (By weariness or annoyance). Most of the times he remained silent but when he opened up his lips to talk he would be at the zenith of all the speakers. He was weak & feeble but when it came to struggle & strife he was a fierce lion. He was more inclined to lend ear in the gathering of scholars than talk. 

If someone overcame him in speech, no one could overcome him in silence. He never said what he did not practice (but) 

p: 60 

practiced what he did not say. When he was confronted with two matters that he did not know which one of those was nearer to Allah, then he would see which of those was nearer to his desire so he would oppose it. 

He did not blame anyone for the works where in there was room for excuse, in similar cases. [1] 

18- وقال علیه السلام فی وَصفِ أخٍ کانَ لَهُ صالِح: 

کانَ مِن اَعظَمِ النّاسِ فی عَینی وَکانَ رَأسُ ما عَظُمَ بِهِ فی عَینی صِغَرَ الدُّنیا فی عَینِهِ، کانَ خَارِجاً مِن سُلطانِ الجَهالَةِ فَلا یُمدُّیَداً اِلّا عَلی ثِقَةٍ لِمَنفَعَةٍ، کانَ لا یَشتَکی، وَلا یَتَسَخَّطُ، وَلا یَتَبَرَّمُ، کانَ اَکثَرَ دَهِره صامِتاً فَإذا قالَ بَذَّ القائِلینَ، کانَ ضَعیفاً مُستَضعَفاً فِإذا جاءَ الجِدُّ فَهُوَ اللَیثَ عادیِاً، کانَ اِذا جامِعَ العُلَماءَ عَلی اَن یَستَمِعَ اَحرَص مِنهُ عَلی اَن یَقُولَ کانَ اِذا غُلِبَ عَلَی الکَلامِ لَم یُغلَب عَلَی السّکُوتِ کانَ لا یَقُولُ ما لا یَفعَل وَیَفعَل مالا یَقُولُ. کانَ اِذا عُرِضَ لَهُ اَمرانِ لا یَدری اَیُّهُما اَقرَبُ اِلی رَبِّهِ نَظَرَ اَقرَبَهُما مِن هَواهُ فَخالَفَهُ، کانَ لا یَلُومُ اَحَداً عَلی مَاقَد یَقَعُ العُذرُ فِی مِثلِهِ. (تحف العقول 234) 

19. Janada bin umaiyyah says I visited Imam Hassan bin Ali bin Abu talib during the ailment which caused his death. I said "Oh lord why do you not get yourself treated? He said ',0 Abdullah with what may I treat the death? I said "انا لله وانا الیه راجعون (Indeed, we are for Allah & toward HIM shall we go back) then he turned to me & said ',By Allah, the Prophet of Allah 

p: 61 

(S) got us committed that twelve Imams would be the owners of this matter (Imamate) from the sons of Ali (as) & Fatima (sa) There is none of us but that he would be poisoned or slain. And then he (S) admonished me. ' 

He said 'yes, get ready for your journey (towards resurrection day) & get your provisions before your death arrival. And know it that you seek the world (material sources) & death is seeking you. Do not load the worry of the day which has not yet come, upon your present day. And beware that you do not achieve & attain a wealth above your energy but you are a trustee of it (wealth) for another person. And do know that there is account in it's lawful & permitted, & in it's prohibited lies punishment & retribution, & in it's paradox & doubtful there is reproof. So, suppose the world as if it is a dead corpse (dirt). 

Take out of it which is sufficient for you. So if it is halal (lawful & legal) you have adopted piety & asceticism. And if it (sustenance) is (from) prohibited there wold be no load (upon you) since you took out of it just as you took out of a dead corpse. And if there is a reproof that reproof is easy (soft one). And work for your world as if you would live here for ever & work for your resurrection day & here after as if you have to 

p: 62 

die tomorrow. And if you intend to achieve honour without a tribe & appalling presence & majesty without a ruler ship then move out of the abjectness & disgrace of committing sin forbidden by Allah, towards the honour of the obedience of Allah. [1]

اربعون حدیثاً 

عن الامام الحسین علیه لسلام 

1. (Oh Allah) How could an argument be given about your Existence by a thing whose total & complete existence is in need of you? 

Is 

p: 67 

it that the advent of other than you is such that the like (advent) is not present in you, so that the one other than you becomes a. clear evidence (expression) of your presence? When did you ever disappear so that you might need an evidence &logic to lead (the people) towards you? And when did you ever become away & take distance so that your signs & effects make the people get, in touch with you? 

Blind be the eye which does not see you (Whereas) you are observing him. (Prayer of Arafaa day i. e 9th of Zilhaaj). [1] 

1- کَیفَ یُستَدَلُّ عَلَیکَ بِما هُوَ فی وُجوُدِهِ مُفتَقِرٌ إِلَیکَ؟ أَیَکُونُ لِغَیرِکَ مِنَ الظُّهُورِ ما لَیسَ لَکَ حَتّی یَکُونَ هُوَ المُظهِرُ لَکَ؟ مَتی غِبتَ حَتّی تَحتاجَ إِلی دَلیلٍ یَدُلُّ عَلَیکَ؟ وَمتی بَعُدتَ حَتی تَکُونَ الآثارُ هِیَ الَّتی تُوصِل إِلَیکَ؟ عَمِت عَینٌ لا تَراکَ عَلَیها رَقیباً.. (دعاء عرفه، بحارالانوار ج98 ص226) 

2. The one who lacked & missed you what did he find? And what is it that he lacks, the one who finds you? Certainly, the one who got pleased & inclined toward other than you, came to nothingness (failed). [2] 

2- ماذا وَجَدَ مَن فَقَدَکَ؟ وما الذی فَقَدَ مَن وَجَدَکَ؟ لَقَد خابَ مَن رَضِیَ ذُونَکَ بَدَلاً. (دعاء عرفه، بحارالانوار ج98 ص228) 

3. A nation which buys the pleasures of the living beings in exchange for te wrath of the creator does not get salvation. [3] 

3- لا أَفلَحَ قَومٌ اشتَرَوا مَرضاةِ المَخلُوقِ بِسَخَطِ الخالِقِ. (مقتل خوارزمی ج1 ص239) 

4. None is in peace on the resurrection day except the

one who fears Allah in the world. [1] 

4- لا یَأمَنُ یَوم القِیامَةِ اِلاّ مَن خافَ اللهَ فیِ الدُنیا. (بحارالانوار ج44 ص192) 

5. Allah, firstly mentioned, 'command for good & forbid to do evil' as one of His obligatory services, since, He knew that if these two obligatory are performed & established, all the obligatory services out of easy & hard will get performed & established. Because, 'command for good & forbid to do evil' invites to Islam, along with giving out the right of those having right & opposing of the tyrants & oppressors. [2] 

5- فَبَدأَ اللهُ بِالأَمرِ بِالمَعرُوفِ وَالنَّهی عَن المُنکَرِ فَرِیضَةً مِنهُ، لِعِلمِهِ بِاَنَّها اِذا اُدِّیَت وَاُقِیمَت استِقامَتِ الفَرائِضُ کُلهُّا هَیَّنُها وَصَعبُها، وَذلِکَ اَنَّ الأَمرَ بِالمَعرُوفِ وَالنَّهیَ عَنِ المُنکَر دُعاءٌ اِلَی الإسلامِ مَعَ رَدَّ المَظالِمِ وَمُخالَفَةِ الظّالِمِ... (تحف العقول ص237) 

6. O, people! the Prophet of Allah (S) said the person who sees that a tyrant & unjust king has made the things forbidden by Allah legal & allowed, broken & breeched His promise & perjure opposed the sunnah & tradition of prophet of Allah, acted among the servants of lord with sin & tyranny. So when he does not act against him (the king) through practice or speech. It is Allah's right to make him enter into his (kings) place of entry (Hell). [3] 

6- اَیُّهَا النّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ قالَ مَن رَای سُلطاناً جائِراً مُستَحِلاً لِحَرامِ اللهِ ناکِثاًعَهدَهُ مُخالِفاً لِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ یَعمَلُ فی عِبادِاللهِ بِالإثمِ وَالعَدوانِ فَلَم یُغَّیِر عَلَیهِ بِفِعلٍ وَلا قَولٍ کانَ حَقّاً عَلَی اللهِ أَن یُدخِلَهُ 

p: 69 

مَدخَلَهُ. (مقتل خوارزمی ج1 ص234) 

7. Indeed people are the servants of world & the religion is (like) saliva upon their tongues, they churn it around their tongues till they are living. And when they are faced with a test, the religious ones are only rare. [1] 

7- اِنَّ النّاسَ عَبیدُ الدُّنیا، وَالدّینُ لَعقٌ اَلسِنَتِهِم، یَحُوطُونَهُ مادَرَّت مَعائِشُهُم فِإذا مُحِّصُوا بِالبَلاءِ قَلَّ الدَّیّانُونَ. (تحف العقول ص245) 

8. One who wishes to reach a goal & aim through the sin & transgression, the way to that aim would get blocked & sooner he would get into danger. [2] 

8- مَن حاوَلَ اَمراً بِمَعصِیَتهِ اللهِ کانَ اَفوَتَ لِما یَرجُو وَاَسرَعَ لِما یَحذَرُ. (تحف العقول ص248) 

9. Do you not see that the right is not being put into practice & distance is not being taken from the falsehood? (In this situation) the faithful is inclined to it (it suits him) that he meets Allah. [3] 

9- اَلا تَرَونَ أَنَّ الحَقَّ لا یُعمَلُ بِهِ، وَأَنَّ الباطِلَ لا یُنَناها عَنهُ لِیَرغَب المُؤمِنُ فی لِقاءِ اللهِ مُحِقّاً. (تحف العقول ص245) 

10. I do not see (consider) death except prosperity and do not consider life along with oppressors & tyrants except affliction & anguish. [4] 

10- فَإِنّی لا أرَی المَوتَ إِلآ سَعادَةً وَلا الحیاةَ مَعَ الظّالِمینَ إلا بَرَماً. (تحف العقول ص245) 

11. And your calamity is greater than all the people because the stations of scholars have been snatched off from you (the rulers have forcibly occupied the stations of ulema & scholars & you are following the occupiers blindly). Wish, you knew this since, (from 

p: 70 

Islamic point of veiw) the implantation & exercising of the ordinances & matters should be in the hands of God recognizing scholars who are the trustees of His legal & forbidden. But you have been deprived of that post. And that you have not been deprived of that but for the reason that you have detached yourselves from the right &, of your differences in the Sunnah (tradition) after the appearance of conspicuous arguments. Had you been patient upon the torture (of enemy) & had endured & borne the expenditure on Allah's course the matters of Allah (the management of Muslim affairs) would have come to your hands & those would have originated from you & returned to you but, you got the tyrants imposed at your place & surrendered the affairs of Allah to them. They practice upon doubtful (ambiguous) & move on the course of lustful desires. Your running away from the death & attachment with the life, which must part from you, made them imposed upon that (mentioned above). [1] 

11- وَأَنتُم أَعظَمُ النّاسِ مُصیبَةً لِما غُلِبتُم عَلَیهِ مِن مَنازِلِ العُلَماءِ لَو کُنتُم تَشعَرُون ذلِکَ بِأَنَّ مَجارِیَ الأُمُورِ وَالأَحکامِ عَلی اَیدی العُلَماءِ بِاللهِ الأُمَناءِ عَلی حَلالِهِ وَحَرامِهِ فَأنتُمُ المَسلُوبُون تِلکَ المَنزِلَةَ وَمَا سُلِبتُم ذلِکَ إِلاّ بِتَفَرُّقِکُم عَنِ الحَقِّ وَاختِلافِکُم فِی السُّنَّةِ بَعدَ البَیِّنَةِ الواضِحَةِ، وَلَو صَبَرتُم عَلی الأَذی وَتَحَمَّلتُم المَؤُونَةَ فی ذاتِ اللهِ، کانَت اُمُورُ اللهِ، عَلَیکُم تَرِدُ وَعَنکُم تَصدُر، وَاِلَیکُم تَرجِعُ، وَلکِنّکُم مَکَّنتُمُ الظَّلَمَةَ مِن مَنزِلَتِکُم، وَأَسلَمتُم اُمورَاللهِ فی اَیدیهِم یَعمَلُونَ بِالشُّبُهاتِ، وَیَسرُونَ فی الشَّهَواتِ، سلَطَهُم عَلی ذلِکَ فِرارُکُم 

p: 71 

مِنَ المَوتِ، وَاِعجابُکُم بِالحَیاةِ الَّتی هِیَ مُفارِقَتکُم... (تحف العقول ص238) 

12. Oh Allah, You know all that took place at our hand (struggle, movement against evils) was neither for the lust of kingship (power) nor to gain wealth but it was for manifesting the signs & symbols of Your religion & to bring about & implement amendment & correction (reform) in Your cities & make the oppressed & afflicted ones out of Your servants peaceful & that Your obligatory & desirable services & commands be put into practice. [1] 

12- اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّکَ تَعلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَم یَکُن ما کانَ مِنّا تَنافُساً فی سُلطانٍ، وَلا التِماساً مِن فُضُولِ الحُطامِ، وَلکِن لِنُرِیَ المَعالِمَ مِن دینِکَ وَنُظهِرَ الإصلاحَ فی بِلادِکَ، وَیَأمَنَ المَظلُومُونَ مِن عِبادِکَ، وَیُعمَلَ بِفَرائِضِکَ وَسُنَنِکَ وَاَحکامِکَ... (تحف العقول ص239) 

13. I have not stood up upon the incentive & provocation of self-conceit & arrogance & not as a chaos creator & oppressor and indeed I have come out (stood up) wishing the rectification of my grandfather Mohammed (S) ummah. I want to order the good deed & forbid the evil & put into practice the character & morale of my grandfather Muhammad (S) & father Ali Ibn Abi talib (as) & [2] 

13- إِنّی لَم اَخرُج أًشراً وَلا بَطَراً وَلا مُفسداً ولا ظالِماً وَإِنّما خَرجتُ أطلُبُ الإِصلاحَ فی أُمَّة جَدّی مُحَمّدٍ صَلی الله علیه وآله وَسلَّم أُریدُ أَن امرَ بِالمَعروفِ وَأَنهی عَن المُنکَرِ وَأَسِیرَ بَسیرَةِ جَدّی مُحَمَّدٍ، وَسیرة أَبی عَلِیّ بنِ أَبی طالِبٍ. (مقتل خوارزمی ج1 ص188) 

14. If the world is taken to be a superb & decent house 

p: 72 

then the house of Allah's reward is more superior & sublime. And if the bodies have been created for death, then being slain with sword on the way of Allah would be better. 

And if the substances have been distributed according to the divine destinies then the lesser greed of man for drawing sustenance is more beautiful. 

And if the wealth’s are collected & gathered for being left over (passing away without carrying the wealth along to the next world) why does then the free man become stingy & miser about the things to be left behind. [1] 

14- فَإن تَکُن الدُّنیا تُعَدُّ نَفیسَةً 

فَدارُ ثَوابِ اللهِ أَعلی وَأَنبَلُ 

وَاِن تَکُن الأً بدانُ لِلمُوتِ أنشِئَت 

فَقَتل آمریءٍ بِالسَّیفِ فی اللهِ أفضَلُ 

وَاِن تَکُن الأً رزاقُ قَسماً مقدّراً 

فَقِلَّةُ حِرصِ المَرءِ فی الرِّزقِ أَجمَلُ 

وَاِن تَکُن الأً موالُ لِلتَّرکِ جَمعُها 

فَما بالُ مَتروکٍ بِهِ آلحُرُّ یَبخَلُ 

(بحار الانوار ج44 ص374) 

15. 'Oh followers of the Abu Sufian family if you do not have religion & you are not afraid of the resurrection day then be free in your world. (At least behave freely in your worldly affairs. ) [2] 

15- یا شیعَةَ الِ أَبی سُفیان إِن لَم یَکُن لَکُم دینٌ وَکُنتُم لا تَخافُونَ المَعادَ فَکُونُوا أَحراراً فی دُنیاکُم. (مقتل خوارزمی ج2 ص374) 

16. A group worships Allah for the avidity (reward of paradise) this is the service of traders & a group worships Allah due to fear (from hell & the torment of Allah) this is the service of slaves (who obey their masters being afraid of them). And a group worships Allah as thanksgiving, so 

p: 73 

this is the service of free men & is the superior most service. [1] 

16- اِنَّ قَوماً عَبَدُوا اللهَ رَغبَةً فَتِلکَ عِبادَةُ التُّجّارِ، وَاِنَّ قَوماً عَبَدُوا اللهَ رَهبَةً فَتِلکَ عِبادَةُ العَبیِد، وَاِنَّ قَوماً عَبدُوا اللهَ شُکراً فَتِلکَ عِبادَةُ الأَحرارِ، وَهِیَ اَفضَلُ العِبادَةِ. (تحف العقول ص246) 

17. Do know that the people's being needy towards you is a beneficence of Allah upon you so do not get tired of the beneficence’s lest those should turn into calamity & woes. [2] 

17- وَاَعلَمُوا أَنَّ حَوائِجَ النّاسِ اِلَیکُم مِن نِعَمِ اللهِ عَلَیکُم فَلا تَمِلوُّا النَّعَمَ فَتَحُورَ 

(بحارالانوار ج7 ص121) 

18. Oh people! take lesson from what Allah has admonished His friends, wherein He negatively defined (rebuked) the people of the book (Jew) scholars & said, 'Why do the scholars of Jews & Christian not forbid & refrain people from sinful talks (or deviational beliefs) & also said ', Those among the sons of Israel who became infidels were cursed through the tongue of Daud (as) (David) & Essa (as) Christ. What an evil did they commit? 

Allah rebuked those scholars because they saw the evils & corruptions in the society before their eyes & did not forbid them from that, for, their inclination towards the material gains which they received from them & for the fear from what they were harassed of. 

Although Allah says “And do not be harassed by the people & have the fear of Me. [3] 

And again says “the faithful men & women are friends & helpers of each other. And order (each other) the good deeds 

p: 74 

& stop from evil doings'. [1] 

18- إعتَبِروُا أَیُّهَا النّاسُ بِما وَعَظَ اللهُ بِهِ أَولیاءَهُ مِن سُوءِ ثَنائِهِ عَلَی الأَحبارِ، إِذ یَقُولُ: لَولا یَنهیهُمُ الرَّبّانِیُّونَ وَالأَحبارُ عَن قَولهِمُ الإِثم، وَقالَ: لُعِنَ الَّذینَ کَفَروا مِن بَنی إسرائیلَ-إِلی قَولِهِ - لِبَئسَ ما کانُوا یَفعَلُونَ، وَ إنَّما عابَ اللهُ ذلِکَ عَلَیهِم لِأَنَّهُم کانُوا یَرَونَ مِنَ الظَّلَمَةِ الَّذینَ بَینَ أَظهُرِهِم المُنکَرَ وَالفَسادَ فَلا یَنهَونَهُم عَن ذلِکَ رَغبَةً فیما کانوا یَنالوُنَ مِنهُم، وَرَهبَةً مِمّا یَحذَرونَ، وَاللهُ یَقُولُ: ( (فَلا تَخشَوُا الناسَ وَاخشَونِ) )، وَقالَ ( (المُؤمِنُونَ وَالمُؤمِناتُ بَعضَهُم أَولیاءُ بَعضٍ یَأمُروُنَ بِالمَعروُفِ وَیَنهَونَ عَنِ المُنکَرِ) ). (تحف العقول ص237) 

19. One who seeks the pleasure of people by displeasing Allah (SWT). Allah makes him over to the people. [2]

22. The intellect does not achieve completion except by observance & following of the right. [5] 

22- لا یَکمُلُ العَقلُ إِلاّ بِاتِّباعِ الحَقِّ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص128) 

23. The company & social intercourse with the people committing transgression is (causes) blame & incredibility. [6] 

23- مُجالَسَةُ اَهلِ الفِسقِ رَیبَةٌ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص122) 

24. Weeping for the fear of Allah is (causes) salvation from the fire (Hell). [7] 

24- أَلبُکاءُ مِن 

p: 75 

خَشیَةِ اللهِ نَجاةٌ مِنَ النّارِ. (مستدرک الوسائل 294/2) 

25. A man came to the chief of martyrs Imam Hussain (A. S) & said " I am a man who commits sin & do not have patience & constraining power against sin & wrongs, so admonish me with a (piece of) admonition. 

Thus he (S) said Do five things & commit any sin you may wish. First is that do not eat the sustenance of Allah & do commit any sin you wish. And secondly, get out of the dominion of Allah & do perform any sin you like to & thirdly seek a place where Allah does not see you & commit any sin you please & fourthly when the angel of death come to take your soul, repel him from yourself & do any sin you may please. And fifthly when Malik (the in charge of the Hell) makes you enter the fire do not enter the fire (hell) & do any sin which you may please. [1] 

25- جاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلی سَیِّدِ الشُّهَداءِ وَقالَ: أنَار رجُلٌ عاصٍ، وَلا أَصِبرُ عَن المَعصِیَةِ فَعِظنی بمَوعِظَةٍ فَقَال عَلَیهِ السَّلامُ: إِفعَل خَمسَةَ أَشیاءٍ وَاَذنِب ما شِئتَ، فَأَوَّلُ ذلِکَ لا تَأکُل رِزقَ اللهِ وَاَذنِب ما شِئتَ، وَالثانی اُخرُج مِن وَلایَةِ اللهِ وَأَذنِب ماشِئتَ، وَالثّالِثُ أُطلُب مَوضِعاً لا یَراکَ اللهُ وَأَذنِب ما شِئتَ، وَالرّابِعُ إِذا جاءَکَ مَلَکُ المَوتِ لِیَقبِضَ روحَکَ فَادفَعهُ عَن نَفسِکَ وَأَذنِب ما شِئتَ، أَلخامِس إِذا اَدخَلَکَ مالِک فی النّارِ فَلا تَدخُل فیِ النّارِ وَأَذنِب ماشِئتَ. (بحار الانوار ج78 ص126) 

26. Take care, not to do anything for which you 

p: 76 

have to apologize. Because the faithful does not commit wrong (sin) & does not apologize & the hypocrite commits sin all the days & (then) extends apologies. [1] 

26- اِیّاکَ وَما تَعتَذِرُ مِنهُ، فِإنَّ المُؤمِنَ لا یُسِیءُ وَلا یَعتَذِرُ، وَالمُنافِقُ کُلَّ یَومٍ یُسِیءُ وَیَعتَذِرُ. (تحف العقول ص248)

اربعون حدیثاً عن

Forty Traditions from Imam Sajjad (as) 

الامام زین العابدین علیه السلام 

1. Glory be to Allah who made (declared) the acknowledgment of His beneficence as His praise & Eulogy. Glory be to the one who made (declared) the confession of man's inability to thank him as a thank giving. [1] 

1 سُبحانَ مَن جَعَلَ الإعتِرافَ بِالنِّعمَةِ لَهُ حَمداً، سُبحانَ مَن جَعَلَ الإعتِرافَ بِالعَجزِ عَنِ الشُّکرِ شُکراً. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص142) 

2. (Oh people) contemplate, meditate, & practice for the (place, thing) that you have been created for, Allah did not at all create you in vain & useless. [2] 

2- تَفَکَّرُوا وَاعمَلُوا لِما خُلِقتُم لَهُ فَإنَّ اللهَ لَم یَخلُقکُم عَبَثاً. (تحف العقول 274) 

3. Be careful not to acquire the company of sinners & help the oppressors & tyrants & become the neighbor 

p: 79 

of transgressors. Be careful keep & look out their sedition & commotion & keep away from their area. And be aware that the one who opposes the friends & saints of Allah & follows a religion other than the religion of Allah & self willingly makes his own view as the basis of his matter than that of the saint of Allah (omits the command of saints) will get into roaring fire which eats up the bodies, the bodies, which were overwhelmed by their wretchedness & villainy. So take lesson, oh those having eyes & visions & do praise Allah upon His guiding you & do know that you cannot go out of the (sphere of) Allah's power towards the power of other than him. And Allah is watching your practices & then you would get resurrected towards him. Therefore, get benefitted by the admonition (of Allah) & get trained & chastised with the civility (decorum) of those pious. [1] 

3- وَإیّاکُم وَصُحبَةَ العاصینَ، وَمَعُونَةَ الظّالِمینَ، وَمُجاوَرَةَ الفاسِقینَ احذَرُوا فِتنَتَهُم، وَتَباعَدوُامِن ساحَتِهم، وَاعلَموُا أَنَّهُ مَن خالَفَ أَولِیاءَ اللهِ وَدانَ بِغَئرِدینِ اللهِ، وَستَبَدَّ بِأَمرِهِ دوُنَ أمرِ وَلیِّ اللهِ، فی نارٍتَلتَهِبُ، تَأکُلُ أَبدناً[ قَد عابَت عَنها أَرواحُها] غَلَبَت عَلَیها شِقوَتُها [قَهُم مَوتی لا یَجِدُونَ حَرَّ النّارِ] فَاعتَبِروُا یا أوُلِی الأَبصارِ وَاحمَدوُا اللهَ عَلی ماهَداکُم وَاعلَمُوا أَنَّکُم لا تَخرُجُونَ مِن قُدرَةِ اللهِ إِلی غَیرِ قُدرَتِهِ وَسَیَرَ اللهُ عَمَلَکُم ثُمَّ إلَیهِ تُحشَرُونَ فَانتَفِعوُا بِالعِظَةِ وَتَأدَّبُوا بِادابَ الصَّالحِینَ. (تحف العقول ص254) 

4. Imam Sajjad wrote in a letter to Mohammed lbne Muslim azzahari one of the court scholars of 

p: 80 

that age: 

Allah took a committment from the scholars in his book, where in, He said 'manifest them to the people & do not hide them (the facts of the Holy Books). [1] 

And know it, that the least & minimum of that You hide & the lowest (degree) of weight of responsibility which you will carry (on this way) is that you calmed down & soothed up the fear & harassment of the tyrant & (paved & planned) made the way of his error & enticement, easy for him by your getting closer to him. 

Is it not that by their inviting you they wish to make you like axis of a water mill, the pivot & center of their oppressions & get those things managed through you? 

And make you a bridge to (safely) cross over & avoid their nuisances & evils, & make you a stair towards their deviations & aberrations, a caller & inviter towards their way of enticement & error i & the traverser of their way & make the people doubtful about the scholars through yourself. And attract the hearts of the ignorant public towards themselves through you. The work which they get from you is neither accessible to the most expert of their ministers & nor their most powerful & energetic co-workers & helpers. 

So how little is it that they give you for the worth of what they take from you & how worthless is that which they flourish for you as compared to what they ruin 

p: 81 

for you? 

So see into your soul & think about yourself because no one else will see to it & think about it. (You are a responsible person & will be brought to account & undergo question on the resurrection day). [1] 

4- فی کتاب له الی محمد ابن مسلم الزَّهری... اَخَذَ عَلَی العُلَماءِ فی کِتابِهِ اِذ قالَ لَتُبَیُنُنَّّه للنّاسِ وَلا تَکتُمُونَهُ.. وَاعلَم انَّ اَدنی ما کَتَمتَ وَاَخَفَّ مَا احتَمَلتَ اَن آنَستَ وَحشَةَ الظّالِمِ وَسَهَّلتَ لَهُ طَریقَ الغَیَّ بِدُنُوَّکَ مِنهُ حینَ دَنَوتَ.... اَوَلَیسَ بِدُعَائِه اِیَّاکَ حینَ دَعاکَ جَعَلُوکَ قُطباً اَدَارُوا بِکَ رَحیَ مَظالِمِهِم وَجِسراً یَعبُرُونَ عَلَیکَ اِلی بلایاهُم وَسُلََّماً اِلی ضَلالَتِهم داعِیاً اِلی غَیَّهِم سالِکاً سَبِیلَهُم یُدخِلُونَ بِکش الشَّکّ عَلَی العُلَماءِ وَیَقتادون بِکَ قُلُوبَ الجُهّالِ اِلَیهِم فَلَم یَبلغ اَخَصُّ وُزَرائِهِم وَلا اَقوی اَعوانِهِم اِلاّدُونَ ما بَلَغتَ مِن اِصلاحَ فَسادِهِم وَاختِلافِ الخاصَّةِ وَالعامَّةِ اِلَیهِم فَما اَقَّلَ ما أعطَوکَ فی قَدرِ ما اَخَذُوا مِنکَ وَما أَیسرَما عَمَّرُوا لَکَ فَکَیفَ ما خَرَّبُوا عَلَیکَ فَانظُر لِنَفسِکَ فَاِنَّهُ لا یَنظُرُ لَها غَیرُکَ… (تحف العقول ص276) 

5. There is no drop which is dearer to Allah more than two drops: The drop of blood (which drips out) on the course of Allah (Jihad) & the drop of tear in the darkness of night by which a servant does not want anything except (pleasing & loving) Allah. [2] 

5- ما مِن قَطرَةٍ أَحَبَّ اِلی اللهِ عَزَّوجَلَّ مِن قَطرَتَینِ: قَطرَةُ دَمٍ فی سَبیلِ اللهِ وَقَطرِةُ دَمعَةٍ فی سَوادِ اللَّیلَ لایُریدُ بِها عَبدٌ إلاَّ اللهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (بحار ج100 ص10) 

6. There are three (things) which are refuges & shelters for a faithful; to refrain his tongue 

p: 82 

from the people & their back biting, and keeping himself busy with things (matters) which are beneficial for his futurity, here after & the world; protracted & lengthy weeping upon his sin. [1] 

6- ثَلاثٌ مُنجِیاتٌ لِلمُؤمِنِ: کَفُّ لِسانِهِ عَنِ النّاسِ وَاغتِیابِهِم، وَإِشغالُهُ نَفسَهُ بِما یَنفَعُهُ لاِ خِرَتِهِ وَدُنیاهُ، وَطُولُ البُکاءِ عَلی خَطبئَتِهِ. (تحف العقول ص282) 

7. There are three (qualities) which if present in a faithful, he is supported & backed by Allah, & Allah provides him the shade of His celestial throne & secures him from the great horror of the dooms day: the one who gives those rights to the others which he wishes & looks forwards to from the others. 

And the man who does not extend his hand & does not take a step ahead till he knows (for sure) that his step is in the (direction of) obedience of Allah or in his sin. 

And the person who does not find fault with his brother till he abandons that fault himself. [2] 

7- ثَلاثٌ مَن کُنَّ فیهِ مِنَ المُؤمِنینَ کانَ فی کَنَفِ اللهِ، وَأظَلُّه اللهُ یَومَ القِیامَةِ فی ظِلّ عَرشِهِ وَآمَنَهُ مِن فَزعِ الیَوم الأکبَرِ: مَن أَعطی مِن نَفسِهِ ما هُوَ سائِلُهُم لِنَفسِهِ، وَرَجُلٌ لَم یُقَدِّم یَدَاً وَلا رِجلاً حَتیّ یَعلَمَ أَنَّهُ فی طاعَةِ اللهِ قَدَّمَها أَو فی مَعصِیَتِهِ، وَرَجُلٌ لَم یَعِب اَخاهُ بِعَیبٍ حَتَّی یَترُکَ ذلِکَ العَیبَ مِن نَفسِهِ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص141)

15. Take care, not to acquire the companionship of the liar for he is like a mirage (deceiving). He shows you the near one as distant & the distant thing as nearby. [1]

16. If someone abuses you (standing) on the sight side & then apologizes coming over to your left side, do accept his apologies. [2]

17. The seeing of a faithful at the face of his brother, for the sake of (his) love & affection, is a service. [3] 

17- نظر المؤم فی وجه أخیه المؤمن للمودة والمحبة له عبادة. (تحف العقول ص282) 

18. Never the less, the right of your neighbor is this that you save & defend his (honor) during his absence & honor him in his presence & assist him when he gets oppressed & do not be after finding his fault. So if you get informed regarding anything bad & ugly about him then conceal it. And if you know that he will accept your admonition then admonish him in the matter which is between you & him. And do not let him alone at the time of hardship & calamity & overlook his slips & forgive his fault. (Sin) And have a good conduct & munificent social intercourse with him. [4] 

18- أَمَّا حَقُّ جارِکَ فَحِفظُهُ غائِباً وَإِکرامُهُ شاهِداً، وَنَصرَتُهُ إِذا کانَ مَظلوماً 

p: 85

19. Oh Allah save me from it that I may think that the poor stays at a low & objected place or I think that the rich & wealthy has a superior station. Because, noble is the one, who is honored & sublimated by your obedience & respected in the one who is made respect worthy by your service. [1] 

19- وَاعصِمنی مِن أَن أَظُنَّ بِذی عَدَمٍ خَساسَةً أَو أَظُنَّ بِصاحِبِ ثَروَةٍ فَضلاً فَإنَّ الشَّریفَ مَن شَرَّفَتهُ طاعَتُکَ وَالعَزیزَ مَن أعَزَّتهُ عِبادَتُکَ. (الصحیفة السجادیة الدعاء: 35) 

20. And the faithful, his practice is intermingled with forbearance & clemency, he sits at a place to learn; & keeps silent to remain sound; does not speak out a word trusted to him, among his friends; & he does not conceal a witness about the strangers & does not practice anything from the righteousness out of pomp & show & does not abandon it out of shame & shyness. If he is praised he gets afraid from it that the conversation of those praising him (would put him in a state of pride) & (so) he repents over his sins which they are unaware of & the ignorance of ignorant ones does not harm him.

p: 86 

وَلا یَترُکُهُ حَیاءً، ان زُکّیَ خافَ مِمّا یَقُولُونَ، وَیَستَغفِرُ اللهَ لِما لا یَعلَمُونَ، وَلا یَضُرُّهُ جَهلُ مَن جَهِلَهُ. (تحف العقول ص280)

(تحف العقول ص265)

And the nearest one to Allah among you is the one whose morality is the best.

would have turned brimful then the angle of death would take out your soul & you would arrive your grave all alone. 

Then your soul will be turned back towards you and two angles Munkir & Nakeer will come to you for questioning & the severed & arduous examination. Beware! Their first question from you will be as to 'Who is your lord, the one you had been worshipping? ' And (question) about who is your prophet that was sent to you. ' And about your religion the one you had been believing in? And about you’re Imam (religious leader) after the Prophet, in whose guardian ship you believed! And about your life as in what sort of activities you spent it. 

And about your wealth, as to where you earned & achieved it from & in what way you spent it? [1] 

38- اَیُّها النّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعلَمُوا اَنَّکُم اِلَیهِ راجِعُونَ فَتَجِدُ کُلَّ نَفسٍ ما عَمِلَت مِن خَیرٍ مُحضَراً وَ مَا عَمِلَت مِن سُوءٍ تَوَدَّ لَو أَنَّ بَینَها وَبَینَهُ اَمَداً بَعیداً وَیُحَذَّرُکُمُ اللهُ نَفسَهُ، وَیحَکَ یَابنَ آدَمَ الغافِلَ وَلَیسَ مَغفُولاً عَنهُ اِنَّ اَجَلَکَ اَسرَعُ شَیءٍ اِلَیکَ قَد اَقبَلَ نَحوَکَ حَثیثاً یَطلُبُکَ وَیُوشِکَ اَن یُدرِکَکَ فَکَانَ قَد أَوفَیتَ اَجَلَکَ وَقد قَبضَ المَلَکُ رُوحَکَ وَصیّرتَ إِلی قَبرِکَ وَحیداً. فَرَدَّ اِلَیکَ رُوحَکَ، وَاقتَحَمَ عَلَیکَ مَلَکاکَ مُنکِرٌ وَنَکیرٌ لِمسُاءَ لَتِکَ وَشدَیدِ امتِحانِکَ، أَلا وَإِنَّ اَوَّلَ ما یَسأ لا نِکَ عَن رَبِّکَ، اَلَّذی کُنتَ تَعبُدهُ، وَعَن نَبِیّکَ الَّذی اُرسِلَ اِلَیکَ، وَعَن دینِکَ الَّذی کُنتَ تَدینُ بِهِ، وَعَن کِتابِکَ الَّذی کُنتَ تَتلُوهُ، وَعَن اِمامِکَ الَّذی کُنتَ تَتَوَلاّهُ، وَعَن عُمرِکَ فیما اَفنَیتَ، وَعَن مالِکَ مِن اَینَ

39. The right of your mother is that you know she has carried you (in her womb) in a manner that nobody has carried the other. And fed you from the fruit of her heart in a way that nobody has fed the other. She safe guarded & preserved you with (extreme) pleasure by her ears, & eyes & hands & feet & hair & skin & all of her body parts with joy & felicity, bearing in it all the odds pains, agonies, discomforts,& burdens till such time the hand of Allah detached & expelled you from her to the earth. Then she got contented & pleased that she remains hungry & feeds you & dresses you up remaining herself nude & quenches your thirst while she is thirsty & she puts you in the shade & while herself remains under the sun & brings you up with the extreme blandishment & delicacy while herself (remaining) in hardship. 

And makes you enjoy the sweet sleep while herself waking. And her womb was a container (utensil) for you & her lap was a soothing & comforting place for you. And her breasts were a means of quenching your thirst. And her existence was a shield for protecting you. 

She endured the hot & cold (thick & thin) of the world for your sake. 

Therefore, you must also thank her at the same scale & standard. And you do not have the capability & power of doing it but 

p: 93 

with the aid & help of Allah & his succor & grace. [1] 

39- فَحَقُّ أُمِّکَ أَن تَعَلَم أَنَّها حَمَلتَکَ حَیثُ لا یَحمِلُ اَحَدٌ أَحَداً، وَاطعَمَتکَ مِن ثَمَرَةِ قَلبِها مالا یُطعِمُ أَحَدٌ أَحَداً، وَأَنَّها وَقَتکَ بِسَمعِها، وَبَصَرِها، وَیَدِها، وَرِجلِها وَشَعرِها، وَبَشرِها وَجَمیع جَوارِحِها مُستَبشِرَةً بِذلِکَ، فَرِحَةً، مُوابِلَةً مُحتَمِلَةً لِما فیهِ مَکرُوهُها وَأَلَمُها وَثِقلُها وَغَمُّها حَتّی دَفَعَتها عَنکَ یَدُ القُدرَةِ وَأَخرَجَتکَ إِلَی الأَرضِ، فَرَضِیَت أَن تَشبَعَ وَتَجُوعَ هِیَ، وَتَکسُوَکَ وَتَعری، وَتَروِیَکَ وَتَظمَأ، وَتُظِلَّکَ وَتَضحی، وَ تُنَعِّمَکَ بِبُؤسِها، وَتُلَذِّذَکَ بِالنَّوم بِأَرَقِها، وَکانَ بَطنُها لَکَ وِعاءً، وَحِجرُها لَکَ حَواءًوَثدیُها لَکَ سِقاءً وَنَفسُها لَکَ وِقاءً، تباشِرُ حَرَّ الدُّنیا وَبَردَها لَکَ وَدُونَکَ، فَتَشکُرَها عَلی قَدرِ ذلِکَ، وَلا تَقدِرُ عَلَیهِ إِلاّبِعَونِ اللهِ وَتَوفیقِهِ (تحف العقول ص263) 

40. Provide yourself with the medium of your defense & contemplate about yourself. And prepare the answer before the examination & cross questioning & experiencing conversance. So if you are a faithful & knowledge able & visions about your religion, follower of the truthful, friend & lover of the friends, & saint of Allah, Allah will inspire & revel ate to your argument & your tongue shall utter the correct & suitable answer & you shall give a decent response & answer. 

And you will be given the glad tidings of paradise & good pleasure (of Allah). And the angels will greet & welcome you with happiness, bounty and fragrance (of paradise). 

And if you were not like that your tongue will stammer & your argument will become forfeited & false & you will get unable & incapable to reply & will get the news of fire & the angels of chastisement & torment will 

p: 94 

receive you with the boiling hot water & the fuming & flaming hell. [1] 

40- فَخُذحِذرَکَ، وَانظُرلِنَفسِکَ، وَأَعِدَّ الجَوابَ قَبلَ الإمتِحانِ، وَالمُساءَ لَةِ والإختِیارِ، فَإِن تَکُ مُؤمِناً عارِفاً بِدینِکَ، مُتَّبِعاً للِصّادِقینَ، مُواِلیاً لأَِلیاءِ اللهِ لَقّاکَ اللهُ حُجَّتَکَ وَأَنطَقَ لِسانَکَ بِالصَّوابِ فَأَحسَنتَ الجَوابَ وبُشِّرتَ بِالجَنَّةِ وَالرِّضوانِ مِنَ اللهِ، وَاستَقبَلَتکَ المَلائِکةٌ بِالرَّوح وَالرَیحانِ، وَإِن لَم تَکُن کَذلِکَ تلجلج لِسانکَ، وَدَحَضَت حُجَّتُکَ وَعَییتَ عَنِ الجَوابِ وَبُشِّرتَ بِالنّارِ، وَاستَقبَلَتکَ مَلائِکَةُ العَذابِ بِنزٍل مِن حمیمٍ وَتَصلِیَة جَحیم.

Forty Traditions from Imam Mohammad Baqir (as) 

اربعون حدیثا 

عن الامام محمد الباقر علیه السلام 

1. The one who goes to an oppressor & tyrant ruler & Instructs him to acquire piety & scares him & admonishes, preaches, & exhorts him he would have a reward similar & equivalent to both weighty beings the mankind & the Jinn & the similar (quantity) of their good deeds. [1] 

1- مَن مَشی اِلی سُلطانٍ جائِرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ بِتَقوَی اللهِ وَخَوَّفَه وَوَعَظَهُ، کانَ لَهُ مِثلُ أَجرِ الثَّقَلَینِ مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإنسِ وَمِثلُ أَعمالِهِم. (بحارالانوار ج75 ص375) 

2. Islam is founded & based upon five things the maintaining of services & the giving out of alms & the Hajj of the House of Allah (kaabah) & the fasting of Ramadan month & the guardian ship of us the Ahle bait (Household of the Prophet (S) ) So in four of those there exists excuse (leave & permission) But in (accepting & believing) guardianship no room for excuse or allowance has been given. And for the person who does not possess wealth, there exists no Zakat (alms giving) & the one who is devoid of wealth, does not have to perform Hajj. 

And the one who is ill offers his prayers sitting & may not observe fast. Nonetheless, the guardianships is binding & obligatory while he is healthy or ill or whether he is rich & wealthy or possessing no wealth. [2] 

2- بُنِیَ الإسلامُ عَلی خَمسٍ: إِقامِ الصَّلاةِ، وَایتاءِالزَّکاةِ وَحَجِّ البَیتِ وَصَومِ شَهرِ الرَمَضانَ، وَالوِلایَةِ لَنا أَهلِ البَیتِ، فَجُعِلَ فی أَربَعٍَ مِنها رُخصَةٌ، وَلَم یُجعَل فِی الوِلایَةِ 

p: 96 

رُخصَةٌ، مَن لَم یَکُن لَهُ مالٌ لَم تَکُن عَلَیهِ الزَّکاةُ، وَ مَن لَم یَکُن لَهُ مالٌ فَلَیسَ عَلَیهِ حَجٌّ، وَمَن کانَ مَریضاً صَلّی قاعِداً، وَأفطَرَ شَهرَ رَمَضانَ وَالوِلایَةُ صَحیحاً کانَ أَو مَریضاً أَو ذامالٍ أَلامالَ لَهُ فِهَیَ لا زَمَةٌ. (وسائل الشیعه ج1 ص14) 

3. Allah revealed to Shuaib (as) I will chastise one hundred thousand persons out of your community, forty thousand of their evil & wicked ones & sixty thousands from the pious ones among them. ' 

So he said 'Oh lord, these (forty thousands) are the evil ones so what for these pious (are to be tormented')? 

Thus Allah (SWT) revealed to him saying, 'for the reason that those pious ones coaxed & blandished the people of sin during their social inter courses they showed adaptability & sociability to the sinners And did not become angry with them for the sake of My anger & displeasure i. e. (they did not perform the duty of ordering the good deeds & forbidding the evils doings. ) [1] 

3- أَوحَی اللهُ إلی شُعَیبَ إِنّی مُعَذِّبٌ مِن قُومِکَ مِئَةَ أَلفٍ: أَربَعینَ أَلفاً مِن شِرارِهِم وَستَّینَ أَلفاً مِن خِیارِهِم، فَقالَ: یارَبَّ هؤلاءِ الأَشرارُ فَما بالُ الأَخبارِ؟ فَأَوحَی اللهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ إِلَیهِ: داهَنُوا أَهلَ المَعاصِی فَلَم یَغضَبُوا لِغَضَبی. (مشکوة الانوار ص51) 

4. The obedience of Imam following His recognition is the loftiest apex & peak & the most worthy of stations & the key to the religion, & gate way & door to the affairs & pleasure of the merciful (Allah). 

Moreover, if a man keeps standing whole night for prayers & keeps on fasting during the day 

p: 97 

& gives out all his wealth as alms & perform Hajj all the years of his life and does not recognize the guardianship of the saint of Allah so as to love him & perform all his practices under his guidance & leadership, he does not have any right out of His rewards & he is not from among the faithfuls. [1] 

4- ذِروَةُ الأَمرِ وَسَنامُهُ، وَبابُ الأَشیاءِ، وَرِضی الرَّحمنِ، الطّاعَةُ لِلإمامِ بَعدَ مَعرِفَتِهِ أما لَوأَنَّ رَجُلاً قامَ لَیلَهُ وَصامَ نَهارَهُ، وَتَصَدَّقَ بِجَمیعِ مالِهِ وَحَجَّ جَمیعَ دَهرِهِ، وَلَم یَعرِف وِلایَةَ وَلِیَّ اللهِ فَیُوَ الِیه وَیکُون جَمیعُ اَعمَالِهِ بِدَلالَتِهِ إِلَیهِ ما کانَ لَهُ عَلَی اللهِ حَقٌّ فی ثَوابِهِ وَلا کانَ مِن أَهلِ الایمانِ. (وسائل الشیعه ج1 ص91) 

5. And do know that you will not become our friend until (such time) that if all the inhabitants of your city collectively form this opinion about you & say 'Indeed you are a bad person'. This saying of them does not make you sorrowful & if they say ', Indeed you are a pious man' this does not make you glad. And but you compare yourself with the book of Allah. 

So if you are the traverser of its way, pious in its pieties (wherever you are demanded & required to be pious) , prone & inclined towards its persuasion, afraid of its Intimidation & threatening, so remain firm. And glad tiding for you because what they (people) say about you shall not harm you. [2] 

5- وَاعلَم بِأَنَّکَ لا تَکُونُ لَنا وَلِیّاً حَتّی لَوِاجتَمَعَ عَلَیکَ أَهلُ مِصرِکَ وَقالُوا: إِنَّکَ 

p: 98 

رَجُلُ سوءٍ لَم یَحزُنکَ ذلِکَ، وَلَوقالُوا: إِنَّکَ رَجُلٌ صالِحٌ لَم یَسُرَّکَ ذلِکَ وَلکِن اعرِض نَفسَکَ عَلی کِتابِ اللهِ، فَإن کُنتَ سالِکاً سَبِیلَهُ زاهِداً فی تَزهِیدِهِ راغِباً فِی تَرغِیبِهِ خائِفاً مِن تَخوِیفِهِ فَاثبُت وَأَبشِر، فَإنَّهُ لا یَضُرُّکَ ما قِیلَ فِیکَ. (تحف العقول ص284) 

6. Suleman bin Khalid narrates Abi Jaffar Imam Mohammed Baqir said "May I not inform you about the Islam's principle, its derivative & its summit, apex & hump? ' I said 'yes why not, I may lay my life for you. ' 

He said "However, its principle is service & its derivative is alm giving & its peak & summit is Jihad (holy war). Then he said', If you please I may inform you regarding the doors of beneficence. ' 

I said 'yes, I may lay my life for you. ' He said ',. Fasting is a shield against (hell) fire & charity & dole removes & finishes sin, & so does the remembrance of Allah in the mid of night. [1] 

6-عَن سُلَیمانِ بنِ خالدٍ، عَن أبی جَعفَرٍ عَلَیهِ السَّلامُ: قالَ: أَلا اخبِرُکَ بِالإسلامِ أَصلِهِ وَفَرعِهِ وَذِروَةِ سَنامِهِ؟ قُلتُ: بَلی جُعِلتُ فِداکَ. قالَ: أَمّا أَصلُهُ فَالصَّلاةُ وَ فَرعُهُ الزَّکاةُ وذِروَةِ سَنامِهِ الجِهادُ، ثُمَّ قالَ: إن شِئتَ أَخبَرتُکَ بِأَبوابِ الخَیرِ قُلتُ نَعَم جُعِلتُ فِداکَ قالَ: الصَّومُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النّارِ، وَالصَّدَقَهُ تَذهَبُ بِالخَطیئَهِ، وَقِیامُ الرَّجُلِ فی جَوفِ اللَّیلِ بِذِکرِ اللهِ. (اصول الکافی ج2 ص23) 

7. The person who serves Allah according to a religion so putting himself in great inconvenience & hardship for it & does not have (submit to) an Imam fixed by Allah then his endeavor is unaccepted (rejected). And he is a lost and gone astray, 

p: 99 

& wondering person in (a state of) perplexity. And Allah is the enemy of his practices. And his example is that of a sheep which has lost her shepherd & herd & remains wandering hither & tither, all the day long. Thereafter, when night falls she mistakenly joins a (different) herd whose shepherd is other than the shepherd of her own herd. After (the night) when the shepherd drives the herd she again gets astonished & perplexed not finding her own shepherd & herd & again starts the search for her own shepherd & herd. And (again) finds a shepherd with a herd (only) to mistakenly join it & the shepherd having seen her shouts at her asking her to go & join it's own herd since, she has lost her shepherd & herd. And she is amazed & at a loss to know what to do. She being afraid of the wolf is running this way & that way. She does not have her shepherd to lead her to her meadow or tum her back. In the mean while. The wolf valuing & esteeming the opportunity eats her up. 

And oh Mohammed, by Allah similarly, anybody in this ummah &, community too, who starts a morning in a condition that he does not believe in the Imam appointed by Allah, an Imam who is evident apparent, just, & equitable he will start the morning in a condition that he is gone astray & perplexed. 

And if he dies in this (very) 

p: 100 

condition he will die a death of infidelity & hypocrisy. [1] 

7 کُلُّ مَن دانَ اللهَ بِعِبادَةٍ یَجهَدُ فیها نَفسَهُ وَلا إِمامَ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ فَسَعیَهُ غَیرُ مَقبُولٍ، وَهُوَ ضالٌّ مُتَحَیِّرٌ واللهُ شانِئُ لأَِعمالِهِ وَمَثَلُهُ کَمَثَلِ شَاةٍ ضَلَّت عَن راعِیها وَقَطِیعِها، فَهَجَمَت ذاهِبَةً وَجائِیَةً یَومَها، فَلَمّا جَنَّهَا اللَّیلُ بَصُرَت بِقَطیِع مَعَ غَیرِ راعیها، فَحَنَّت إِلَیها وَاغتَرَّت بِها، فَباتَت مَعَها فی رَبضَتِهَا فَلَمّا أَن ساقَ الرّاعی قَطیعَهُ أَنکَرَت راعیها وَقَطیعَها، فَهَجَمَت مُتَحّیِّرَةٌ تَطلُبُ راعیَها وَقَطیعَها، فَبَصُرَت بِغَنَمٍ مَعَ راعیها، فَحَنَّت إِلَیها وَاغتَرَّت بِها، فَصاحَ بِها الرّاعِی إِلحَقی بِراعیکِ وَقَطیعِکِ، فَإنَّّکِ تَائِهَةٌ مُتَحَیِّرَةٌ عَن راعیکِ وَقَطیعِکِ فَهَجَمَت ذَعرَةً مُتَحَیِّرَةً نادَّةً لا راعِیَ لَها یُرشِدُها إلی مَرعاها أَو یَرُدُّها، فَبَینَا هِیَ کَذلِکَ إِذِا اغتَنَم الذِّئبُ ضَیعَتَها فَأکَلَها، وَکَذلِکَ وَاللهِ یا مُحَمَّدُ مَن أَصبَحَ مِن هذِهِ الأمَّةُ لا إِمامَ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ ظاهِراً عادِلاً أَصبَحَ ضالاً تائِهاً وَإِن ماتَ عَلی هذِهِ الحالِ ماتَ مِیتَةَ کُفرٍ وَنِفاقٍ. (اصول الکافی ج2 ص375) 

8. The person who loves for the sake of Allah & detests & despises for the sake of Allah & gives for the sake of Allah is among those whose faith has achieved completion. [2] 

8- مَن أَحَبَّ لِلّهِ وَأبغَضَ لِلّهِ وَأَعطی لِلّهِ فَهُوَ مِمَّن کَمُل ایمانُهُ. (اصول الکافی ج2 ص124) 

9. Jabir Marrates that Imam Abi Jaffar said to me ', Oh Jabir does it suffice that a person claims to be Shia & that he says he loves us, the Ahle bait, house hold of the Prophet? ' 

By Allah, no one is our Shia except that he has piety for Allah (guard himself against sin) 

p: 101 

& obeys HIM. 

They (shias) are not known & recognized except for their humility, modesty, fear of Allah. & submission trust worthiness, & trust ability, abundance & plenty of remembrance of Allah. Fasting, service, kindness to the parents. Looking after the poor neighbors & afflicted people & the indebted ones & the orphans & speaking truth & reciting the holy Quran & restraining of the tongue about people except mentioning them with goodness & beneficence. And they are the trustees for their tribes in all the affairs. [1] 

9 عَن جابِرٍ عَن أَبی جَعفَر عَلَیهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: قالَ لی یا جابِرُ أیَکتَفی مَن یَنتَحِلُ التَّشَیُّعَ أَن یَقُولَ بِحُبِّنا أَهلَ البَیتِ؟ فَوَاللهِ ما شِیعَتُنَا إِلاّ مَن أتَّقَی اللهَ وَأَطاعَهُ، وَما کانُوا یُعرَفُونَ یا جابِرُ إِلاّ بِالتَّواضُعِ، وَالتَّخَشُّعِ، وَالأَمانَةِ، وَکَثرَةِ ذِکرِ اللهِ، وَالصَّوِم، وَالصَّلاةِ، وَالبِرَّ بِالوالِدَینِ، وَالتَّعاهُدِ لِلجیرانِ مِن الفُقَراءِ وَأَهلِ المَسکَنَةِ وَالغارِمینَ وَالأَیتامِ، وَصِدقِ الحَدیثِ، وَتِلاوَةِ القُرآنِ، وَکَفِّ الأَلسُنِ عَنِ النّاسِ إلاّ مِن خَیرٍ، وَکانُوا أُمَناءَ عَشائِرِهِم فِی الأَشیاءِ. (اصول الکافی ج2 ص74) 

10. Indeed faithful is the one who when pleased & glad his pleasure does not make him enter into sin & falsehood (He does not commit any sin while happy). And when unhappy & angry his anger does not oust him from the word of righteousness. (He does not abandon the right course) And when he gains power his power does not make him commit excess & oppression & make him go for a thing upon which he does not have any right. [2] 

10- إنماالمؤمن الذی إذا رضی لم یدخله رضاه 

p: 102 

فی إثم ولا باطلف وإذا سخط لم یخرجه سخطه من قول الحق، والذی إذا قدرلم تخرجه قدرته الی التعدی إلی ما لیس له بحق. (اصول الکافی ج2 ص234) 

11. There is no servant except that there exists a white spot upon his heart. So when he commits a sin a black spot arises into that white spot. So when he repents this black spot moves away. And if he continues on committing sins the blackness of this spot increases till such time it overwhelms & over rides the whiteness. When the whiteness is covered over (by the blackness) the owner of it (heart) does never at all return to wards beneficence & goodness. And this is what Allah means when he says: 

Nay! Rather, what they used to do has become like a rust upon their hearts (83: 1). ' [1] 

11- ما مِن عَبدٍ إِلاّ وَفی قَلبِهِ نُکتَةٌ بَیضاءُ، فَإِذا أَذنَبَ ذَنباً خَرَجَت فِی النُّکتَةِ نُکتَةٌ سَوداءُ، فَإن تابَ ذَهَبَ تِلکَ السَّوادُ، وَإِن تَمادی فِی الذُّنُوبِ زادَ ذلِکَ السَّواد حَتی یُغَطِّیَ البَیاضَ، فَإذا غَطّی البَیاضَ لَم یَرجِع صاحِبُهُ إِلی خَیرٍ أَبَداً، وَهُوَ قَولُ اللهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ: ( (کَلاّ بَل رانَ عَلی قُلُوبِهِم ما کانُوا یَکسِبُونَ) ). (بحار الانوار ج73 ص332) 

12. Indeed, when a man earns the wealth from Haram (prohibited) sources, no Hajj & no umrah & no strengthening of his blood kinship is never at all accepted & approved. (By Almighty God). [2] 

12- اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ اِذا اَصابَ مالاً مِن حَرامٍ لَم یُقبَل مِنهُ حَجٌّ وَلا عُمرَةٌوَلا صِلَةُ رَحمٍ... (بحار الانوار ج99 ص125) 

13. The completion, entire completion of 

p: 103 

a man lies in understanding & appreciating the religion (the necessary laws of & principles of jurisprudence) , the patience & forbearance upon the occurrence of incidents & the appraisement & assessment of (his) economy. [1] 

13- اَلکَمالُ کُلَّ الکَمالِ التَّفَقُّهُ فی الدَّینِ وَالصَّبرُ عَلی النّائِبَةِ وَتَقدیرُ المَعیشَةِ. (تحف العقول ص292) 

14. There are three things out of the completions & worth’s & values of the world & there after: 1. forgiving the one who has committed excess & aggression against you. 2. Joining the one who cuts off relations & ties with you. 3. Forbearance & tolerance for the one who committed a folly & showed insane behaviour & conduct towards you. [2] 

14- ثَلاثَةٌ مِن مَکَارِمِ الدُّنیا وَالاخِرَةِ: اَن تَعفُوَ عَمَّن ظَلَمَکَ. وَتَصِلَ مَن قَطعَکَ. وَتَحلُمَ اِذا جُهِلَ عَلَیکَ. (تحف العقول ص293) 

15. Allah dislikes & hates the importunately soliciting & urging of men to the other men for some problems (needs, wants, desires) & He approves & Ioves it for Himself. [3] 

15- اِنَّ اللهَ کَرِهَ إلحاحَ النّاسِ بَعضِهِم عَلی بَعضٍ فی المَسألَةِ وَاَحَبَّ ذلِکَ لِنَفسِهِ. (تحف العقول ص293) 

16. The scholar whose knowledge is made use of & benefitted from, is worthier & more virtuous than seventy thousand worshippers & adorers. [4] 

16- عالِمٌ یُنتَفَعُ بِعِلمِهِ اَفضَلُ مِن سَبعینَ اَلفَ عابِدٍ. (تحف العقول ص294) 

17. I recommend you to have five virtues. 1. If you have undergone oppression & tyranny, you do not oppress. 2. If a dishonesty has been committed with you, do not commit dishonesty. 3. If you have been falsified & contradicted do 

p: 104 

not get annoyed & vexed. 4. If you have been praised do not get pleased & glad. 5. And if you are vilified & disparaged do not be impatient & apprehensive. 

And do contemplate & ponder about what is said about you. So if you observe & come to know about something which exists in you (vice) then do know that to lose your honor & falling down in Allah's view for a right & just thing is much more of a greater & graver calamity than losing respect in the eyes of people. And if your condition is contrary to what has been said about you, then you have earned a reward & recompense short of any physical strain. [1] 

17- اُوصیکَ بَخَمسٍ: إِن ظُلِمتَ فَلا تَظلِم وَإِن خانُوکَ فَلا تَخُن وَإِن کُذَّبتَ فَلا تَغضَب وَإِن مُدِحتَ فَلا تَفرَح وَإِن ذُمِمتَ فَلا تَجزَع وَفَکَّر فیما قیلَ فِیکَ فَإن عَرَفتَ مِن نَفسِکَ ما قیلَ فیکَ فَسُقُوطُکَ مِن عَینِ اللهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّعِندَ غَضَبِکَ مِنَ الحَقِّ اَعظَمُ عَلَیکَ مُصیبَةً مِمّا خِفتَ مِن سُقوطِکَ مِن اَعیُنِ النّاسِ وَإِن کُنتَ عَلی خِلافِ ما قیلَ فیکَ فَثَوابٌ اکتَسَبتَهُ مِن غَیرِ اَن یَتعَبَ بَدَنُکَ. (تحف العقول ص284) 

18. Certainly, Allah grants this material world to the one whom he loves & the one whom he despises. And he does not bestow his religion to anyone except whom He loves. [2] 

18- اِنَّ اللهِ یُعطِی الدُّنیا مَن یُّحِبُّ وَیُبغِضُ وَلا یُعطی دینَهُ اِلاّ مَن یُّحِبُّ. (تحف العقول ص300) 

19. Beware! Caution! Do not acquire enmity because it rottens & turns the heart evil 

p: 105 

& causes to develop hypocrisy. [1] 

19- اِیّاکَ وَالخُصُومَةَ فَإنَّها تُفسِدُالقلبَ وَثُورِتَ النَّفاقَ. (اثمتنا ج1 ص365) نقل عن کتاب حلیة الاولیاء. 

20. Indeed, the most terrifically sorry of all the people on the resurrection day will be the servant who defines & shows the way of justice to the people & himself opposes it. [2] 

20- اِنَّ اَشَدَّ النّاسِ حَسرَةً یَومَ القِیامَةِ عَبدٌ وَصَفَ عَدلاًثُمَّ خالَفَهُ اِلی غَیرِهِ. (تحف العقول ص298) 

21. be careful, do not put off & evade (the obligatory actions because this is an ocean in which, all those perished, get drowned. And beware of neglectfulness, since, it causes the hardening & Stiffening of heart. And be careful of slackness & sluggishness, unless you have an excuse & Reason for it, since, those who repent take refuge in it. And revert back the past sins committed, by intensity of shamefulness, repentance & abundance of penitence & imploring forgiveness. And attract the mercy & forgiveness of Allah through nicety & beauty of reference (purity of prayers) And to lay hands upon decency of reference get the help of pure prayers & sublimation in the darkness of night. 

And get the purification of thankfulness by considering the small amount of sustenance as great & thinking great amount of (your) services as meagre & small. And attract the abundance of benevolences & beneficence’s through greatness of thanksgiving. [3] 

21- اِیّاکَ وَالتَسویفَ فِإنَّهُ بَحرٌ یَغرقُ فیهِ الهَلکی وَإِیّاکَ وَالغَفلَةَ فَقِیهَا تَکُونُ قَساوَةُ القَلبِ وَاِیَّاکَ وَالتَّوانی فیما لا عُذرَلَکَ فیهِ فَإلَیهِ یَلجَاء النّادِمُونَ وَاستَرجِع سالِفَ الذُّنُوبِ بِشِدَّةِ النّدَمِ وَکَثرَهِ 

p: 106 

آلإستِغفارِ وَتَعَرَّض لِلرَّحمَةِ وَعَفوِ اللهِ بِحُسنِ المُراجَعَةِ وَآستَعن عَلَی حُسنِ المُراجَعةِ بِخالِصِ الدُّعاءِ وَالمُناجاةِ فی الظُّلَمِ وَتَخَّلَص إِلی عَظِیمِ الشُّکرِ بإستِکثارِ قَلِیلِ الرَّزقِ واستِقلالِ کَثِیرِ الطّاعَةِ واستَجلِب زِیادَةَالنَّعَمِ بِعظِیمِ الشُّکرِ... (تحف العقول ص285) 

22. There are three things the owner (committer) of whom does not die until he finds & reaches their punishment. 

1. Oppression & cruelty. 

2. Rupture & desertion of one's blood kinship. 

3. False oath, which is a war against Allah. 

And connecting &joining the kinship is an act which gets the quickest of rewards & indeed there is a community which consists of transgressors but their wealth gets exuberant & increased & they become rich & wealthy by virtue of joining the kinship. And the false oath & desertion of blood kinship turns the cities along with their inhabitants vacated & deserted (by the death) of their inhabitants & dwellers. [1] 

22- ثَلاثُ خِصالٍ لایَمُوتُ صاحِبُهُنَّ اَبدَاً حَتّی یَری وَبالَهُنَّ: اَلبَغیُ وَقَطیعَةُ الرَّحِمِ. وَالیَمینُ الکاذِبَةُ یُبارِزُاللهَ بِها. وَإِنَّ اَعجَلَ الطّاعَةِ ثَواباً لَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَإِنَّ القَومَ لَیَکُونُونَ فُجّاراً فَیَتَواصَلُونَ فَتُنمی اَموالُهُم وَیثرُونَ. وَإِنَّ الیَمینَ الکاذبَةَ وَقَطَیعَةَ الرَّحِمِ لَیَذَرانِ الدِّیارَ بلاقِعَ مِن أَهلِها. (تحف العقول ص294) 

23. Whosoever's tongue utters the truth, his practice becomes purified & the one whose intention is decent & good, his sustenance boosts up & increases. And who ever adopts a decent & nice attitude & behavior with his family his life be lengthens. [2] 

23- مَن صَدَقَ لِسانُهُ زَکا عَمَلُهُ. وَمَن حَسُنَت نِیَّتُهُ زِیدَ فی رِزقه وَمَن حَسُنَ بِرَّهُ بِأَهلِهِ زِیدَ فی عُمرِهِ. (تحف العقول ص295) 

24. Beware of sluggishness, annoyance 

p: 107 

& impatience since these are the keys to all the evils. 

The person who commits sluggishness & slackness never at all discharges any right & the one who gets impatient & restless, does never at all remain patient over the right. [1] 

24- إیّاکَ وَالکَسَلَ وَالضَّجرَ فَإِنَّهُما مِفتاحُ کُلِّ شَرَّ، مَن کَسِلَ لَم یُؤَدِّ حَقّاً وَ مِن ضَجِرَ لَم یَصبِر عَلی حِقٍّ. (تحف العقول ص295) 

25. Humility & humbleness (means) is to be pleased & contented with sitting in, an assembly at a place lower than ones status & honor, & saluting anybody one meets & abandoning dispute even if one is right. [2] 

25- أَلتَّواضُعُ الرِّضا بِالمَجلِسِ دوُنَ شَرَفِهِ، وَاَن تُسَلِّمَ عَلَی مَن لَقِیتَ، وَأَن تَترُکَ المِراءَ وَإِن کُنتَ مُحِقّاً. (تحف العقول ص296) 

26. Indeed, faithful is the brother of faithful. He does not abuse him & does not deprive him & does not mistrust & develop a bad opinion about him. [3] 

26- إِنَّ المُؤمِنَ أَخُوالمُؤمِنِ لا یَشتِمُهُ وَلا یَحرِمُهُ وَلا یُسیءُ بِهِ الظَّنَّ. (تحف العقول ص296) 

27. Nobody remains safe from sin unless he guards his tongue. [4] 

27- لا یَسلَمُ اَحَدٌ مِنَ الذُنُوبِ حَتّی یَخزُنَ لِسانَهُ. (تحف العقول ص298) 

28. Indeed, Allah hates & despises the curser, rebuke & sarcastic of faithful’s (those who curse, rebuke & give sarcastic remarks about the faithful’s. ) [5] 

28- فاِنَّ اللهَ یبغضُ اللَّعّانَ السَّبّابَ الطَّعانَ عَلیَ المُؤمِنینَ.. (تحف العقول ص300) 

29. Mohammed Bin Muslim says Imam Mohammed Baqir (as) said to me, Oh Mohammed know it that the oppressive leaders (rulers) & their followers are ousted & portaged from the religion of Allah. They 

p: 108 

have gone astray, distracted & made the people go astray. So their practices are like ashes which are dispersed & blown up by winds on a stormy & squally day. They cannot lay hands upon what they have achieved, this is the same ( (ضلال البعید) ) remote & distanced deviation & aberration. [1] 

29-وَاعلم یا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ أَئِمَّةَ الجَورِ وَأَتباعَهُم لَمَعزُولُونَ عَن دینِ اللهِ قَد ضَلُّوا وَاَضَّلُوا، فَأَعمالُهُمُ الَّتی یَعمَلُونَها کَرَمادٍ اشتَدَّت بِهِ الرّیحُ فی یَومٍ عاصِفٍ لا یَقدِرُونَ مِمّا کَسَبُوا عَلی شَیءٍ ذلِکَ هُوَ الضَّلالُ البَعیدُ. (اصول الکافی ج1 ص375) 

30. Indeed, Allah has hidden three things in three others. His pleasure in his obedience. So of course, do not belittle anything from his obedience, since His pleasure may be in the same one. 

And Allah has concealed his wrath & anger in His sin. So of course do not belittle & count any sin as small. May be the wrath of Allah is in it. And he has concealed His friends & saints among the people, so do not belittle & look down upon anyone perhaps he may be the friend & saint of Allah. [2] 

30- اِنَّ اللهَ خَبَاءَ ثَلاثَةً فِی ثَلاثِةٍ خَبَاءَ رِضاهُ فِی طاعَتِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ مِنَ الطّاعَةِ شَیئاًفَلَعَلَّ رِضاهُ فیهِ وَخَبَاءَ سَخَطَهُ فِی 

مَعصِیَتِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ مِنَ المَعصِیَةِ شَیئاً فَلَعَلَّ سَخَطَهُ فیهِ وَخَبَاءَ اَولِیائَهُ فِی خَلقِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ اَحَداً فَلَعَّلَهُ الوُلِیُّ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص188)

31. Consider the world as an abode where in you have dropped down for an hour & then you have got to leave it & go ahead 

p: 109 

or (suppose it) like the wealth which you lay hands upon in the dream & get over joyed & glad. Then you wake up to find yourself empty handed. [1] 

31- فَاَنزِل نَفسَکَ مِنَ الدُّنیا کَمَثلِ مَنزِلٍ نَزَلتَهُ ساعَةً ثُمَّ ارتَحَلتَ عَنهُ اَو کَمَثَلِ مالٍ استَفَدتَهُ فی مَنامِکَ فَفَرِحتَ بِهِ وَسررتَ ثُمَّ انتَبَهتَ مِن رَقدَتِکَ وَلَیسَ فی یَدِکَ شَیءٌ. (تحف العقول ص287) 

32. Three things are back breaking: 

1. A person who considers his practice as exuberant. 

2. A person who forgets his sins. 

3. A person who is pleased with his opinion & view (considering it superior). [2] 

32- ثَلاثٌ قاصِماتُ الظَّهرِ: رَجُلٌ استَکثَرَ عَمَلُهُ وَنَسِیَ ذَنبَهُ وَأعجِبَ بِرَأیِهِ. (کتاب الخصال ج1 ص112) 

33. The one whose appearance & apparent looks are better than his interior condition his scale of practice is light (weightless). [3] 

33- مَن کان ظاهِرُهُ أَرجَع مِن باطِنِهِ خَفَّ میزانُهُ. (تحف العقول ص294) 

34. Indeed, Allah made the beneficence heavy for (material seeking) people of the world just as the weight of it in their scales on the dooms day. And doubtlessly Allah has made the evil light (easy) for the (material seeking) world people just as He would make their scales of practices light & weightless on the resurrection day. [4] 

34- اِنَّ اللهَ ثَقَلَ الخَیرَ عَلی اَهلِ الدُّنیا کَثِقلِهِ فی مَوازینِهِم یَومَ القِیامَةِ وَاَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ خَفَّفَ الشَّرَّ عَلی اَهلِ الدُّنیا کَخِفَّتِهِ فی مَوازینهِم یَومَ القِیامَةِ. (اصول الکافی، ج2 ص143) باب تعجیل فعل الخیر) 

35. So hold the present day in esteem & tomorrow, it is not known to whom it belongs. [5] 

35- فِإنَّ الیَومَ 

p: 110 

غَنِیمَةٌ وَغَداً لا تَدری لِمَن هُوَ. (تحف العقول ص299) 

36. Heaven is surrounded by unpleasantness & patience. So, the one who remains patient over it's, unpleasantness in the world, enters the paradise. And the hell is surrounded by pleasures & lusts. So the one who allows (gives) himself its' pleasures & lustful desires enters the hell fire. [1] 

36- أَلجَنَّةُ مَحفُوفَةٌ بِالمَکارِهِ وَالصَّبرِ، فَمَن صَبَرَ عَلیَ المَکارِهِ فِی الدُّنیا دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ. وَجَهَنَّمُ مَحفُوفَةٌ بالَّذَّاتِ وَالشَّهَواتِ، فَمَن أَعطی نَفسَهُ لَذَّتَها وَشَهوَتَها دَخَل النَّارَ. (اصول الکافی، ج2 ص89) 

37. The ugliest & most evil of the earnings is the gaining of interest. [2] 

37- أَخبَثُ المَکاسِبِ کَسبُ الرِّبا. (فروغ الکافی ج5ص147، باب الربا حدیث12) 

38. The one who teaches one chapter of guidance to the people will have the reward similar to all those who would act upon it & nothing would be lessened & subtracted from the reward of those who practice it. And the one who teaches a chapter of misguidance, he will have the burden (wrath) similar to each one who acts upon it & nothing will be lessened from their burden of sin (wrath of Allah). [3] 

38- مَن عَلَّمَ بابَ هُدًی فَلَهُ مِثلُ أَجرِ مَن عَمِلَ بِهِ وَلا یَنقُصُ اُولئِکَ مِن اَجُورِهِم شیئاً، وَ مَن عَلَّمَ بابَ ضَلالٍ کانَ عَلَیهِ مِثلُ اَوزار مَن عَمِلَ بِهِ وَلا یَنقُصُ اُولئِکَ مِن اَوزارِهِم شَیئاً. (تحف العقول ص297) 

39. Allah has devised locks to the evil & the keys to these locks is wine, & lying is worse than the wine (alcoholic beverages). [4] 

39- اِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ جَعَلَ لِلشَّرَّ اَقفالاً وَجَعَلَ مَفاتیحَ 

p: 111 

تِلکَ الأَقفالِ اَلشَّرابَ. وَالکِذبُ شَرُّمِنَ الشَّرابِ. (بحارالانوار ج2 ص237) 

40. If people come to know what (evil) lies in begging, No one will beg from the other & if the one who is begged from knows the evil of rejecting the one who begs, nobody will turn down anyone's request. [1] 

40- لَویَعلَمُ السّائل ما فِی المَسألَةِ ما سَأَلَ اَحَدٌ اَحَداً وَلَویَعلَمُ المَسُئُول ما فِی المَنعِ ما مَنَعَ اَحَدٌ اَحَداً. (تحف العقول ص300)
